White Widows Grow Under Mars-Hydro TS1000 Using FFOF

[Nunyabiz]

To be honest....I don't even want to tie them down. I'm afraid I might snap them. I know it happens and they usually recover but I have some shitty luck. But I gotta learn sooner than later.

Just go very slowly, and you can get the stem to bend easier by rubbing it lightly between your fingers.
When they are young they bend pretty easily it's when they get older and woody is when they break.

Nodes on both plants are coming along nicely. Took em a few days...guess I would be pissed if someone chopped my top off too. Every day I have to pull open the fan leaves to allow the nodes to grow up into the top. I'm guessing most likely by the weekend I'll start the training.

I know there are different ways to train....besides the clips what works the best to use? I don't wanna use something and create a problem down the road when I could have used ........

I have a nylon type rope, I use a lighter to cut it and then squish the ends. Then wrap a end around a binder clip arm heat it up and squish it so it binds together.

Clip the binder clip to the edge of my cloth pots, wrap the string around said branch then clip the string between the binder clip. That way you can move them around/tighten as the branches grow.

Awesome. I just didn't want to use anything laying around and have it cause problems down the road. I'm gonna start most likely this weekend. she's close now but I want to give them a few more days.

Looking good PH, if you plan on transplant to a smart pot, I use pipe cleaners and big safety pins to the them down.

Looking great buddy!

 

[HugePeckerhead]

Clips check...string check...time to get in and ties these ladies down.

Nothing more better than tying your plant down then watching it level out over the coming days .

It'll be my first time attempting training. I've done my homework so I'm comfortable with it. And if I come across problems I've got the best here to help me along.

So my very first branch I broke. Smh. All training will be stopped immediately. Noticing more spotting. Looks like it needs cal mag at minimum once a week. Between them being hogs and growing them under LED I may use calmag every water or feed.

 

[HugePeckerhead]

Recent pics. Both plants. Different angles. I've uploaded 2 pictures that still have spotting. Like I said I'm guessing because they need cal mag like crazy. Any ideas?

 

[HugePeckerhead]

I'm thinking is calcium decency!??

 

[Backlipslide]

Yeah you might be right, cal mag should take care of the need for more.

Remember, once the markings are on there it may never repair those spots even after the problem has been fixed.

Yea. By the time I flip her and she stretches I'll have it trimmed or it'll die off on its own. I made sure I didn't splash at all so I know its not that. A few weeks ago they had it on a bottom fan leaf and I started to give cal mag at that point. I've kept the amount about the same But I'm still using little less then recommended dose.

Keep doing that, if you notice new spots after a few feedings of it, bump it up to the 2ml per 1L of water or what ever it asks for. I think that’s what mine says.

Yea that's what is suggested for me.

Pipe cleaner and binder clips

Pipe cleaner and binder clips I’m here to see the results

 

[HugePeckerhead]

Got one opened up nicely I think.
